Next-Generation LCDs

Hi all, this news excerpt is interesting, and I think, big news:

S-LCD Corporation (hereafter S-LCD) today began shipment of mass production Generation 7 amorphous TFT LCD modules to its parent companies, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (hereafter Samsung) and Sony Corporation (hereafter Sony).

S-LCD was established on April 26 th 2004 by an equal joint investment * by Samsung and Sony dedicated to the manufacturing of amorphous TFT LCD panels for LCD TVs targeting mass production to begin in the first half of 2005.

S-LCD started the production of the world's largest generation 7 th glass substrate and shipped LCD panels with integration of peripheral devices such as back-light and driving circuitry to both parent companies according to their individual specification requests.

“ I am proud to announce today that t he cooperation between Samsung and Sony has realized the mass production of the most advanced 7 th generation amorphous TFT LCD in the world. Facing the fast-growing LCD TV market, the most advanced LCD panels produced by S-LCD will become the new benchmark in the industry in terms of performance, quality and cost,” said Won-Kie Chang, President and CEO of S-LCD.

I had my eye on this Samsung model: (LN-R328W)
http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/n...LNR328WX%2fXAA or a Sony KLV-32M1. (both 32" LCDs)

But after seeing the news report about the new 7th generation LCDs, which will be in the next model year LCD TVs, I just might wait for an LCD, which ought to come out in the fall of this year....

New product releases in the US normally come only once a year and that may not be until after the 2006 Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vega in January 2006.

New Products announced at this years CES Show are being release this month thru July.
